These rates are variable and correct as at 1st July 2009. Gross/AER assumes that the deposit was made on 1st July 2009.

***These tiered variable interest rates are only applicable until 31st May 2010. From 1st June 2010 you will receive the variable rate applicable to balances from £1 on all the money in your account.

Please note that the tier of interest above, that is applicable to the balance of your account, is applied to the total balance. Quoted rates are for interest paid annually. Monthly interest rates are available on request and on our rates and fees page.

** Whilst we aim to provide 24 hour access to your accounts this service may very occasionally be reduced, for example when improvements / updates are made to the site.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if we paid interest and added it to your account each year. The gross rate is the interest rate we pay before income tax is taken off. Rates are variable.
